325i steering fluid leak

Hi all!

Just bought this ‘06 325i and it’s leaking a lot of steering wheel fluid, do you think it’s this return hose that needs replacing? If yes would anybody know a good replacement or part code and how it can get replaced?

Easy to replace yourself, fcp euro has a oem part for $30, usually the the power steering fluid resivor leaks from the filter built into unit.

So I’m more safe to change the reservoir and return hose?
